Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an endoglucanase mutant and a gene, a vector and a preparation method thereof, and in particular to an endoglucanase mutant derived from Thermobifida fusca bacteria and a gene, a vector and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Cellulose is a tough, fibrous, linear polymer of D-glucose units connected by β-1,4-glycosidic bonds. Cellulose is the most abundant polysaccharide in nature. As humanity looks to get rid of its dependence on fossil fuels and reduce its impact on the environment, cellulose has great economic value as a renewable bioenergy source. Cellulase can be produced by bacteria, fungi, plants and animals and is widely used in various industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, textiles, agriculture and waste treatment. Cellulase is a group of glycosyl hydrolyzing complex enzymes that can effectively hydrolyze cellulose into fermentable sugars through the synergistic action of endoglucanases (EC3.2.1.4), exoglucanases (EC 3.2.1.91) and β-glucosidases (EC 3.2.1.21). This method of using cellulase to treat and use cellulosic waste as a cheap carbon source is of great strategic significance.

[0003] The cellulases currently used in industrial production mainly come from Trichoderma reesei and Aspergillus oryzae. The cellulases produced by them are optimally PH 5.0-6.0 and the optimal temperature is between 50-70 degrees Celsius. When the enzyme solution is incubated in the temperature range of 70 to 90 degrees Celsius, the enzyme activity gradually decreases. When the temperature reaches 80 degrees Celsius, the enzyme activity decreases by about 30%. When the temperature reaches 90 degrees Celsius, the enzyme activity decreases by 80% or is completely inactivated. Due to the existence of high temperature scenes in actual industrial production environments, existing endoglucanases are difficult to maintain high catalytic activity in high temperature scenes, lack resistance to extremely short environments, resulting in a decrease in reaction rate, which is not conducive to increasing production capacity and reducing costs in the bioenergy industry.

The tubes were placed in a boiling water bath for 10 min. The absorbance was measured at 540 nm and a standard curve was drawn. Figure 3 As shown. Add 50μL crude enzyme solution and 100μL 1% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution to the EP tube, react at 55℃ for 20min, quickly cool to room temperature, add 150μL DNS solution to stop the reaction, and boil in a boiling water bath for 10min.

[0096] Example 7: Determination of the enzyme activity of the endo-β-1,4-glucanase mutant enzymes prepared in Examples 1-5 under different pH conditions

[0097] The recombinant bacteria induced by IPTG and cultured for 24 h in Examples 1-5 were centrifuged and collected, and the cells were resuspended in 1 ml of pH 3.0, pH 5.0 sodium hydrogen phosphate-citrate buffer, pH 7.0, pH 9.0, and pH 11.0 phosphate buffer.
